There are 19 unpublished letters written by latter bishop of Zica Jefrem Bojovic, preserved in The Manuscripts Department of The Russian State Library of Moscow. These letters, addressed to Nil Alexandrovich Popov, are part of a personal collection of this famous Russian scholar in the field of history and Slavic literature. Letters from this collection were written from 1874 until 1886, while Bojovic was a student at The Moscow Spiritual Academy and a professor in the Seminary of Belgrade. These letters are a great source for Bishop Jefrem?s biography, especially for understanding his relationships with Russia. They witness a sincere friendship with Popov, one of the most prominent people in relations between Serbs and Russians, during the second half of the 19th century. These letters are important in order to understand Bojovic?s point of view, regarding the issues of Serbian social, political and church life in the 9th decade of the 19th century. Serbian Government led Pro-Austrian politics during that period of time, which affected relationships within Serbian Church and society. The most significant consequence was an uncanonical replacement of the Serbian Metropolitan Mihailo (Jovanovic) and his hierarchy. Bojovic was the first source witness of these events, who was actively supporting Metropolitan Mihailo. During his studies in Russia, Jefrem Bojovic became a true lover of Slavs, which formed his further views. The mentioned documents were analyzed in this study for the first time, and they will hopefully enrich the biography of Jefrem Bojovic. This study should help us to understand better the occasions within the church, society and politics in Serbia during the ninth decade of the 19th century.

The article describes the history of the library of St. Theophan the Recluse, also known as “Theophan Zatvornik” (1815-1894), the famous theologian and spiritual writer of the 19th century, the owner of one of the largest private libraries. Despite the large number of studies on the theological heritage of St. Theophan the Recluse, the history and composition of his library is still not revealed, what determines the relevance of the article. The main objectives of the article are to identify and analyze all the surviving inventories of the library, to explore the possibility of determining the composition and history of the library. The main sources for this task are the memoirs of his contemporaries, published in the periodicals of the 19th century, as well as two inventories of the library, made after the death of St. Theophan the Recluse, by the librarian of the Moscow Theological Seminary N.A. Kolosov and by the unknown author. There was revealed that after the death of St. Theophan the Recluse, his library got into the library of the Church of St. Nicholas in Tolmachi, and after the revolution - to the Russian State Library. All the books had Losevs library stamp. Research work on revealing all the editions with Losevs library stamp in the holdings of the Russian state library will allow to determine the composition of the book collection of St. Theophan.

Ludwik Kondratowicz (Władysław Syrokomla) represented a patriotic attitude towards his homeland.His works written in the years 1823–1862 were primarily an expression of the public moodin the middle of the 19th century. It was Syrokomla’s gentleman’s tale Born Jan Dęboróg, the Historyof His Family, Heads and Hearts, Told by Him Himself and Written Down in the Form of Rhythmby W. S., written in the years 1847–1851 and published for the first time in 1853, that reflected thatlocal/regional patriotism. For many years it remained in the shadow of the great legacy of the mostoutstanding representatives of Romanticism and was therefore underestimated.What is important in this tale is a tradition, with various events and customs related to it, datingback to the seventeenth century and continued till Syrokomla’s times. Apart from the defense ofpeasants, national tradition and patriotism, Syrokomla also emphasized his own views, so this taleis also a confession of the author’s faith. The popularity of Born Jan Dęborog was determined notonly by the personal tone of the tale saturated with a wistful feeling, but also by the manner in whichthe action is presented – from the point of view of the average person. Syrokomla consciously gaveup his role as the guide of the nation and immersed himself in the oral tradition, thanks to which heenjoyed the obedience and reverence of his people.

The article examines the religious and symbolic aspects of the Ethiopian Embassy (mission) to Russia (1895) in the context of church and state relations and ideological searching of Russian conservatives in the end of the 19th century. The visit of the Embassy to Russia aroused special interest of the Ober-Procurator of the Most Holy Synod K.P. Pobedonostsev who saw the people of the African State as supporters of the patriarchal values, so important for him, such as – patriarchal simplicity, devotion to traditions, genuine religiousness. For Pobedonostsev the embodiment of those values in Russia were the establishments related to his activities as head of the clerical office (primarily church schools for common people), that’s why he attached special importance to the visits of the African guests to those schools in the course of their mission. The visits were meant to reveal the spiritual kinship of the Christians from that distant country with Russian church life and consolidate their attraction to Russia.

The paper focuses on the preliminary systemic insights into P.A. Vyazemsky’s poetic heritage (1792–1878) based on the analysis of his numerous lifetime and posthumous publications (proved author’s, co-author’s, anonymous), the collection of letters written by Vyazemsky and his contemporaries, archival materials from the collections of the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art, Manuscript Research Department of the Russian State Library, Manuscript Department of the Institute of Russian Literature, Manuscript Department of the National Library of Russia, Manuscript Department of St. Petersburg State Theatre Library. They are based on the alphabetical bibliography of Vyazemsky's poems compiled by the project team, including almost 1,400 works (indicating their printed or archival sources with the necessary textual comments). The previously unknown poems that were not published or printed anonymously for some reason are revealed and partly put into scientific circulation. Among them, there are the patriotic poems “To the Current War”, “Who Needs Whom More?” attributed erroneously to other authors and popular in the 19th century. This research helped to broaden the understanding of Vyazemsky’s activity as a poet.

The article presents a message of the Old Believers’ Spasovo denomination by a peasant Ivan Gerasimov from the Kazan Province. The document is introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. The approximate date of writing this text refers to the time interval between June 15, 1849 and June 10, 1850. The appearance of the “message” was caused by the reaction of I. Gerasimov to the initiation of an investigative case against him with apostasy of schism. Like most representatives of the Spasovo denomination (“glukhoy netovshchiny” or “starospasovtsev”), he was baptized in the Orthodox Church. However, like other old believers, I. Gerasimov denied the existence of the church, and thus did not perform the rites accepted in the Orthodox Church, which was a formal reason for accusing him of evading a split. It was in the process of investigation that he wrote this message, the recipient of which was the local Orthodox priesthood. The uniqueness of this source lies in the fact that the message is one of the rare written documents that emerged in the first half of the XIX century...

The history of Old Believers in Lithuania in the 19th century is insufficiently studied. Well, we know the main centers, events and names of the most important figures, the key moments in the history of the Old Believer society are identified. But there are any generalizing monographs in this field and now the main task is to accumulate empirical material and try to put them in a future common historical narrative. The Old Believer community of Rimkai is one of the oldest in the central part of present-day Lithuania. In 1856 an Old Believers’ church assembly was held in the village of Rimkai. This assembly has so far been unknown in historiography, so this is the first time information about the meeting is being introduced into scientific circulation. The resolutions of the assembly are preserved in the only manuscript, which i s now held at the Russian State Library as part of E. V. Barsov’s collection no. 1025. The resolutions consist of 33 articles discussing the Old Believers’ iconolatry as well as regulation of ritual and everyday norms of behaviour applicable to both church leaders and ordinary parishioners. The documents were signed by 13 Old Believers’ spiritual fathers and monks from Lithuania and East Prussia. This study contains a diplomatic edition of Rimkai resolutions too. The text of the document is supplemented by historical commentary and source analysis.

Early Novel

For the first time are here presented to Dostoevsky scholars new facts concerning the masonic environment of the writer, who starting from his education in Chermak’s boarding school in 1834–1837 cultivated close relations of friendship with masons, some of them initiated even in 1840s (Apollon Grigorev), when masonry in Russia was officially forbidden, but nevertheless underground meetings continued. Reasons are given in support to the hypothesis, expressed for the first time by Tatiana Kasatkina in the middle of 1990s, of the possibility for Dostoevsky to have been a mason during the 1840s. Whether or not, direct references to masons and masonic symbolic in Dostoevsky’s oeuvre are impossible to explain (Uncle’s Dream, The Humiliated and the Insulted, The Adolescent, The Brothers Karamazov) if one ignores his interest for masonic teaching. Moreover, the specific characteristic of Russian masonry in the last third of the 18th – beginning of the 19th century was the fact that it was not overly differentiated from Christian teaching and theology, however, masonry stood against Orthodox church for the simple fact of its existence, as it held itself as a “small church”. The analysis of Dostoevsky’s early novel White Nights is here undertaken with regard to masonic teaching on death and resurrection of man.
